    My husband is going on a snowboard trip this week and he asked me that I make him some energy bars that he can take with him. First thing that came to my mind was granola bars and Larabars.

    We spent a few good hours in the kitchen last night and came up with three different bars, all grain free, gluten free and sugar free:

    1- Cacao Nibs & Coconut Energy Bars
    2- Apricot & Lemon Energy Bars (recipe)
    3- Mulberry & Goji Berry Energy Bars (recipe)

    For the next three days I will be posting the recipe for each and I hope you enjoy each one as much as my husband and I did.

    Ingredients

    • 10 large Medjool dates, a little over 1 cup
    • ½ cup raw pecans
    • ½ cup raw almonds
    • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    • 1 ½ tbs cacao nibs
    To see the brands I use, click each ingredient above or visit my Amazon shop.

    Instructions
     

    • In a food processor grind the nuts until coarsely ground and place it in a bowl.
    • Remove pits from dates and process them in a food processor until creamy.
    • Combine the date paste with the ground nuts, shredded coconut and cacao nibs. Mix all with your hands until well combined.
    • Press into an 8×8 square baking dish or a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, then cut it into rectangles. Alternatively, you can just skip the baking dish and just shape them any way you prefer.
    • Wrap each bar separate with parchment paper so you can easily take it with you.

    Notes

    Recipe makes about 6 3-inch bars.
